Anglish Possessives

The English possessive of "ties" is "ties'", however, in keeping with the Anglish philosophy of regularity and simplicity, the "'s" form is used exclusively in Anglish. Remember, however, that in Anglish the "'s" is optional, thus

	sale2 ties number               sale2 ties's number
	sale2's ties number             sale2's ties's number

are all equivalent. The user may select the version that seems most appropriate for the situations.

Anglish allows the "of" form of possessive for readability.  Thus
        sale2's number of ties
is equivalent to
        sale2's ties's number.

The "of" form of possession is allowed because many times it is more natural to form row - column cell names using that form while at other times the "'s" form seems more natural. For example, consider "Joe's car" and "car of Joe" in contrast to "ties's number" and "number of ties." Anglish accepts both versions interchangeably.

Possessives can be used with table names too. It a row or column name occures in more than one table. Some method of distinguishing them must be employed. This is accomplished in Anglish by labeling the two charts in the upper left hand corner. Then each individual chart can be identified.

Anglish also accepts plural constructions.
